Just A Little Shout Out

One of my readers/followers from Brazil seems to log on quite frequently to read my posts.  This is just a little shout out to you.  Thank you so much! That is all…

Whips & Chips & Dips & Chains

Buzzfeed has this article entitled “50 Movies That Are Sexier Than ‘Fifty Shades of Grey.’”  First of all, what’s all the hype over “Fifty Shades of Grey?”  I read the book, but haven’t bothered to see the movie yet.  Why are people always so fascinated by b&d or s&m type of things?  Let’s just say I’ve … Continue reading »

Homeward Bound

Although N. didn’t have time to make breakfast for me on Sunday, he still stopped off to pick something up for me to eat.  As in the old days together, he always takes excellent care of me (and everyone else). We took a cab to Chinatown in search of the silk Chinese “sleeping” pants.  Chinatown … Continue reading »

Almost Too Relaxed to Blog

Upon my arrival in Honolulu on Wednesday afternoon, I was feeling out of sorts.  With certain things on my mind, it was debatable whether I would be able to even enjoy this vacation.  Seeing my friend when he picked me up at the airport certainly helped.  The nice weather helped, too.  After checking into my … Continue reading »

Regrets, Of Which I Have Many

My advice to people has always been “Move forward.  Don’t look back.  No regrets.”  Recently, it seems, I haven’t been following my own advice.  Something has me on a very serious sentimental journey which involves a ton of regrets.  Now my life in retrospect – the travels, the relationships, the material possessions, etc. – seems … Continue reading »

Payback

The boys apparently had quite an evening of drinking at the holiday dinner last night ’cause M. didn’t crawl in until after 10:00 a.m. and A. followed shortly thereafter. “Someone” in the office told me that M. had actually left the dinner or ensuing bar early to “help a friend.” Some girl allegedly sent him … Continue reading »

Identity Crisis

A friend wrote on FB today that the daughter of his Filipino girlfriend had been wanting a Barbie doll.  When he went to buy one for her, he was faced with a wall of “blonde perfection.”  Not wanting to perpetuate the myth that blonde (i.e. white) is better, he chose a brunette Barbie for her. … Continue reading »

Why Am I Awake So Early?

Considering that I got back from the gym at 12:15 a.m. this morning and didn’t make it to bed for another half an hour after that, waking up at 7:30 a.m. on a holiday weekend is surprising. I certainly epitomized Labor Day weekend thus far – did 4 loads of laundry, hand washed about 9 … Continue reading »

Back to the Grind

My vacations, particularly those in warm, tropical places, always end too soon.  This one was no different. Didn’t my last post leave off on Sunday night?  By Monday, the sun had returned, so a few hours by the pool in the morning was in order.  My left over pasta was lunch before my second visit … Continue reading »

Catch Up

My intentions while on vacation are always to blog every day or at least every other day, but it seldom happens.  I’m either too relaxed or too caught up in things to blog. It’s Sunday; let me see if I can think as far back as Thursday.  My habit while in Honolulu is to sunbathe … Continue reading »
